Former Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino spoke Wednesday afternoon about the NCAA's decision Wednesday to vacate the Cardinals' 2013 national title

The NCAA's Infractions Appeals Committee announced Tuesday that it upheld the penalties given to Louisville in the Andre McGee scandal, most notably that the school must vacate the 2013 national championship.

Pitino hit several topics, saying he hopes the school's board of trustees takes the NCAA to court to challenge the decision and that his players "dedicated their lives" to winning the program's third NCAA title.
